https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/all-aboard--the-mekhi-becton-hype-train-is-leaving-the-station

Last night's Holiday Bowl - SC's Austin Jackson was fairly holding his own vs. Iowa's AJ Epenesa until one play in the 3rd quarter where he lost him (and his QB Kedon Slovis in the process) and with it the game.  From there he (and SC) was a mess.  On the flip side, Tristan Wirfs was flat out awesome both run and pass.

I enjoyed watching Wirfs last night. Jackson didn’t have a great game against Epensa.

I did come away impressed with Slovis before he got hurt for SC, and I had flashbacks to a few Chrebet grabs by Iowa’s #84. But I can’t remember his name. Pretty sure he was an underclassman

Thomas
Wirfs
Wills
Becton

Becton is talented enough to be the top tackle in this year's class

Would be nice to see a back to back o-line draft like we did with Adams and Maye.  Would certainly be complained about less.

If he has the movement skills described by the draft network, there is no way he’s on the board in the early second round.

But man that would give us some solid tackles to start the future OL with

Wouldn't be shocked if we showed a ton of interest in Temple C Matt Hennessy

(And yes, he is our long snapper's brother...)

In which round do you see him going?

Jedrick Wills or Tristan Wirfs is the hope for me at the moment....

Love Nick Harris as a 3rd round interior guy as well...

Late second, early third.

We really need LSU's Lloyd Cushenberry to enter this draft class.  A strong center we could target in the second.

---

The kid that I coached (Gage Cervenka) can play guard and center.  He was second team All-ACC as a guard.  He is a converted defensive lineman, so he only has three years experience as an OL.  He is the strongest player in college football and if he gets a combine invite, he'll have a shot at the bench record.  199-1 record as a heavyweight wrestler in high school. 

Obviously I'd love for us to draft him, but we'll see.

Do you think Hennessy is worth a reach early in the round or would it be worth more to trade back into the late second for him?

Or did we acquire another pick that I forgot about?

Nania: Jets haven't drafted an offensive lineman in the first round since 2006 (Brick & Mangold), longest active streak in the NFL

Since 2007 they have drafted just one OL in the top two rounds (Ducasse), also fewest in the league.

I’ve been complaining about this for the last three years at least. For the love of whatever superior being you believe in, commit to the freaking offense.
